n
Applications
SPEC 44 wire has a dual
wall construction which
combines the outstanding
physical and electrical
characteristics of radiation
crosslinked polyalkene with
the excellent mechanical
and chemical properties of
radiation cross-linked
polyvinylidene fluoride
(PVDF).
The result is a wire insulation system that offers a
150°C [302°F] temperature
rating, small size, light
weight, solder iron resistance, and resistance to
most solvents, fuels and
lubricants.
SPEC 44 wire and cable is
highly flame retardant, nonmelting, does not cold flow,
and though mechanically
very tough, is easy to handle and install using conventional tools.
Originally developed for
aerospace and military
requirements in applications of high density and
complex circuitry, SPEC 44
wire and cable now finds
wide use throughout industry, in commercial and
military electronics,
avionics, on satellites,
aircraft, helicopters, ships,
trains, military ground
systems, and offshore platforms where environmental
conditions demand consistently reliable performance.
In airframe applications
SPEC 44 constructions can
offer a modern dimensional
replacement for PVC/Nylon/
Glass braid type wire and
cables. SPEC 44 wire is
offered in a wide range of
sizes in stranded conductors, standard materials
available being tin or
silver-plated copper and
high strength copper alloy.
Voltage ratings of 600, 1000
and 2500 volts are available
as standard. Shielded and
jacketed versions include
single and multi-conductor
constructions and flat braid
shields where further size
and weight savings are
achieved.

SPEC 44 (Continued)
Physical Characteristics
Small Size
General Handling
Lengths
SPEC 44 equipment wire,
600 volt rated has a 0.19
[.008] nominal wall thickness compared to 0.25
[.010] and 0.38 [.015] for
equivalent PTFE and PVC
wires in MIL-DTL-16878,
SAE AS22759 or BS 3G210.
The flexibility of SPEC 44
and the ease with which it
takes a 'set' makes it one of
the easiest of the 'high
performance' wires to
install. Stripping is done
with conventional die blade
strippers.
SPEC 44 is available in long
continuous lengths and can
be supplied for use on automatic cut and strip wire
preparation machines.
Light Weight
The tin-plated conductor
usually specified is easily
soldered or crimped. The
insulation may be easily
printed and does not need
etching before potting.
Because of the thin wall and
low density of the insulation
materials considerable
weight savings are made
over similarly rated PTFE
wires, eg:- 44A0111-22AWG

High Performance Wire and Cable
SPEC 44 (Continued)
Environmental Performance
Temperature Rating
SPEC 44 wire and cable is
rated for continuous operation from -65°C to +150°C
[-85°F to +302°F] and for
short periods at temperatures as high as 300°C
[572°F]. Heat ageing tests
are routinely performed at
temperatures of 200°C
[392°F] (168 hr) and 300°C
[572°F] (6 hr). In addition
SPEC 44 insulation will not
shrink back under repeated
cycling.
Mechanical Performance
SPEC 44 wire provides better cut through resistance
than some wires with much
thicker walls. 600 volt equipment wire 44A0111 (0.19
mm wall) has 40% greater
cut through resistance than
600 volt PTFE insulated wire
(0.25 mm wall).
Fire Hazard Performance
Flammability
The radiation crosslinking
of the materials used in
SPEC 44 makes them nonmelting at high temperature.
As a result SPEC 44 wire is
resistant to prolonged contact with solder irons and is
resistant to current overloads which would melt most
thermoplastic insulation.
Chemical Resistance
The irradiated dual wall
construction of SPEC 44
wire is highly resistant to
many acids, alkalis, hydrocarbon solvents, fuels, lubricants, water, and many
missile fuels and oxidizers.
Cold Flow
Voltage Ratings
Standard available voltage
ratings for SPEC 44 wire are
600 volts (0.19 mm wall
thickness), 1000 volts (0.28
mm wall) and 2500 volts
(0.48 mm wall).
Electrical Arc Track Resistance
SPEC 44 insulation demonstrates a resistance to arc
tracking under both wet and
dry conditions at aircraft
system voltages.
Low Outgassing
For use in space applications, special constructions
of SPEC 44 wire are available with low outgassing
characteristics, for use in an
environment of high vacuum
and high temperature.
Radiation cross-linking of
SPEC 44 prevents cold flow
of the insulation — a recognized problem of some
uncrosslinked materials.

SPEC 55PC Wire and
Cable Insulation System
Applications
SPEC 55 wire is insulated
with modified radiation
cross-linked ETFE polymer.
It has a temperature rating
of -65°C to 200°C [-85°F to
392°F] continuous using a
silver plated copper conductor, and combines the
easy handling of a flexible
wire with excellent scrape
abrasion and cut-through
characteristics.

The dual wall airframe construction of SPEC 55 wire is
currently used on numerous
aircraft programs. It has a
choice of two total wall
thicknesses, 0.25 [.010]
(55A08XX 10 mil) and 0.2
[.008] (55A02XX 8 mil).
Both have a contrasting
core color to act as a damage indicator. Chosen for its
balance of properties,
SPEC 55 wire has outstanding resistance to chemicals
and solvents, excellent
electrical arc track resistance, and is not susceptible
to UV and moisture degradation. Single wall equipment wire constructions
are available in 0.10 [.004]
(55/03XX 4 mil) and 0.15
[.006] (6 mil) wall thicknesses
for use inside black boxes
where flexibility and solderiron resistance make it a
wire which is very easy to
install reliably.
Both single and dual wall
insulated wires are available
in twisted pairs, triples, etc.,
and as shielded and jacketed cables.
Physical Characteristics
Size and Weight
SPEC 55 wire provides one
of the most comprehensive
wiring product ranges for
aerospace users, with a
wide choice of conductor
sizes and insulation wall
thicknesses.The dual wall
airframe wire has an insulation wall thickness of either
0.2 [.008] or 0.25 [.010] for
robustness in unprotected
harnesses and has excellent wire to wire abrasion
properties.
The single wall equipment
wire has a 0.15 [.006] wall
thickness for use inside
equipment and protected
harnesses. For high density,
interconnect wiring, the 450
volt 55M041X series of
equipment wire has a nominal 0.1 [.004] wall and provides considerable weight
and size savings over other
comparable wires.
This product was originally
developed to meet Boeing’s
material standard BMS1348 for the 777 airliner.
SPEC 55PC provides lightweight, compact insulation
that matches the proven
performance of our
SPEC 55 wire. Today, 55PC
is specified and utilized on
the majority of aerospace
platforms worldwide.
TE’s rigorous, statisticalprocess-controlled manufacturing has produced
wiring that is rugged and
versatile enough for a wide
range of commercial and
defense aerospace applications, including electronic
hook-ups in harsh, open airframe environments.
SPEC 55PC wire and cable
systems feature an 8-mil airframe wire that is lighter and
smaller than typical 10-mil
wire, with little reduction in
key mechanical performance features. SPEC 55PC
wire offers flame resistance
superior to FAA standards
and also resists scrape
abrasion, notch, propagation, cut-through, and
electrical arc tracking.
n
Meets Boeing material
standard BMS 13-48.
n
Exceeds FAR 25 test
requirements for flame
resistance and smoke
density.
Handling
The excellent flexibility
and handleability makes
SPEC 55 the ideal wire to
install, both in new aircraft
and equipment and for
maintenance purposes. The
wire is easily stripped with
conventional tooling. The
insulation is readily marked

SPEC 55 (Continued)
Environmental Performance
Temperature Rating
Chemical Resistance
SPEC 55 wire and cable is
rated for continuous operation from -65°C to +200°C
[-85°F to +392°F] and for
short periods at temperatures as high as 400°C
[752°F].
SPEC 55 is unaffected by all
commonly used chemicals,
eg. fuels, hydraulic
fluids, defluxing agents,
cleaners, coolants and
de-icers. It also shows
excellent resistance to
weathering (UV, ozone,
pollutants, water).
Mechanical Performance
Radiation crosslinking of the
SPEC 55 insulation significantly improves the following mechanical characteristics; scrape (sharp
edges), cross wire abrasion,
cut-through resistance and
creep resistance.
Solder Iron/Overload
Resistance
Radiation crosslinking
ensures that the insulation
resists melting at high
temperatures. As a result
SPEC 55 wire is resistant to
hot solder irons and current
overloads which would melt
most thermoplastic
insulation.

Electrical Arc Tracking
Resistance
SPEC 55 insulation

wet and dry conditions at
aircraft system voltages.
Space Wire
SPEC 55 is available in
special versions suitable
for use in outer space
meeting both ESA and
NASA requirements for
outgassing.
Flammability
Special additives increase
the flame retardance of
SPEC 55 compared to
unirradiated ETFE so that
it meets the latest high
performance tests, eg.
BS 3G230 and vertical test
FAR25.

Product Facts
Low flammability
Low smoke generation
n Low toxicity index
n Low generation of corrosive
gases
n Small size, lightweight
n
n
Applications
During the 1980’s there
were major changes in the
demands of many wire and
cable specifications to
reduce the risks associated
with all aspects of fire
hazards. Specifications
Available in:
This has led to a tightening
of the requirements for
flammability, smoke generation, corrosive gas generation and hazardous fume
emission. Type 99M wire
achieves these improvements in performance
whilst retaining small size,
light weight, flexibility,
handleability, resistance to
carbon arc tracking and
resistance to chemicals
and fluids.
Physical Characteristics
Handleability
Type 99M wire has been
designed to be compatible
with modern wiring and
harnessing techniques.
It is a flexible wire with virtually no springback once
set. It is easily stripped with
tools such as conventional
die-blade strippers.
9
Small Size
Type 99M equipment wire
has a nominal 0.2 mm insulation wall thickness which
is comparable to other
established thin wall wires
such as SPEC 44 wire.
Wire and Cable
Type 99M wire has a dual
wall construction of radiation cross-linked modified
polyester. This combines
excellent mechanical performance and chemical
resistance with a range of
enhanced fire hazard
properties. Type 99M wire
is designed to meet the
stringent low fire hazard
performance now being
specified by the UK Naval
Defense Standard Authority
for ship wiring and cabling.
such as Def Stan 61-12
Part 18, have been developed over the last decade
demanding improved
performance of wires
and cables under fire
conditions.
Light Weight
Type 99M wire is designed
to have the same weights
as SPEC 44 wire.

C-Lite Low Fire Hazard Lightweight Cables
Product Facts
30% lighter than standard
commercial cable for weight
savings reductions
n Reduced diameter means
that smaller bend radius can
be used during installation
n Reduced and easier cable
pulling time
n
Applications
Crosslinked Molecular Chain
TE materials technology
and expertise in processing
allows the use of thinwall
insulation systems. The use
of Zerohal-EN cross-linked
cable jacket completes this
product offering.
TE Raychem was the first
company to commercialize
radiation cross-linking of
insulation, initially for aerospace applications.
Radiation Crosslinking
Available in:
Americas
Europe
Asia Pacific
Molecular Chain
To achieve crosslinking
a polymer product is
exposed to high-energy
radiation. This is generally
done by exposure to beta
radiation (high-energy
electrons) using an
electron beam.
9
Wire and Cable
C-Lite cable products can
offer significant size and
weight reduction, when
compared to conventional
insulation systems, while at
the same time meeting key
criteria such as low fire
hazard performance and
mechanical robustness.
Crosslinked insulations
in wire and cable
products are lightweight,
mechanically tough and
thermally stable.

Applications
TE is a major supplier in
high performance cable
systems to the offshore and
industrial markets. Offshore
applications include
telecommunications, instrumentation and small power
cables which represent
approximately 80% of the
total cable length on a
platform.
Easy Design
C-Lite F cable consists
of Raychem brand primary
C-Lite FR Wire with a
Zerohal-EN jacket and can
be used throughout an offshore platform, simplifying
the selection of cables for
designers and electrical
engineers.
Zerohal-EN Cables Generate
Less Smoke
Zerohal-EN is a halogenfree cable jacket material,
developed by TE and combines the good mechanical,
environmental and electrical
features of some conventional cables, with good fire
hazard performance.
Until recently the flame
retardance of cable jackets
was achieved by the use
of halogenated flame
retardants that are effective
fire suppressants, but which
unfortunately produce
dense smoke and
corrosive acid gases
when burned.
These effects are highly
undesirable in a fire,
causing corrosion damage
to expensive and vital
equipment, hindering evacuation and fire fighting and
above all, endangering life.

C-Lite F (Fire Resistant) Cables (Continued)
Traditional Fire
Resistant Cable
C-Lite F
Cable
The illustration above shows a TE light weight cable on the right
compared with a traditional offshore cable having the same crosssectional area of copper. Both cables have the same number of
conductors. A saving in size has been made on the insulation
material, but without sacrificing the mechanical or electrical
characteristics of the cable.
Designing Platforms
Platforms are becoming
smaller and more sophisticated with an ever increasing complexity of electronic
systems, sensors, communications and safety
equipment. More cables
are therefore required to fit
into smaller spaces.
C-Lite F small size cable
can be a distinct advantage
over conventional cables.
Space saving when refurbishing platforms
As technology advances,
engineers are called upon
to update and modify
existing systems or fit
completely new ones.
Cable trays
A typical saving in the
cable tray volume can
exceed 40%
To provide all the necessary
interconnections, hundreds
of multicore cables have to
run throughout the platform.
These, along with cables
for power, lighting and
instrumentation, create a
severe space problem on
cable trays, cable transits
through fire walls,
marshalling boxes and
gland plates.
Benefits of using TE
C-Lite F cable
• Cable can be used
throughout the platform
• Smaller tray work/more
cables per tray
• Lighter supports
• Smaller cable glands/
gland plate optimization
• More cables through
transit blocks
• Time saving on
installation
• Less cable accessories
• Less inventory
• Lower total installed
cost
• Wide size range:
0.50-10.00mm2
Using C-Lite F cable installation is easier because the
cable is smaller, lighter,
more flexible and has a
reduced bend radius than
conventional cables.
9
Wire and Cable
Lower total installed cost on
new platforms
Weight is one of the key
factors to consider when
designing new platforms.
Transits
Over 40% savings
in area
With more than 475 km of cabling on a typical large platform, there
are potential savings of up to 105 tons topside by using C-Lite
throughout the platform. The total cabling system, together with
smaller cable glands, trays and transits can lead to overall weight
savings of approximately 165 tons and cost savings in excess of
15%.
Reduced size and weight
in cables allow for smaller
and lighter gauge racking
needing less support. Also,
smaller transits and cable
glands reduce material and
installation costs. C-Lite F
cable is easier to specify as
it meets all the industry’s
essential requirements in
one cable.

Today’s performance needs
for military and commercial
electronic systems require
increasingly sophisticated
equipment and greater use
of composite structures and
enclosures. As electronics
become more sensitive,
the EMI protection level for
electrical equipment is
increasing. The Raychem
brand of ElectroLoss
FilterLine wire and cable
provide a high degree of
EMI protection while functioning as conventional
electrical wiring.
The ElectroLoss FilterLine
wire and cable meets the
performance requirements
of SAE AS85485 originally a
military specification developed to provide EMI protection for military electrical
interconnects.
The absorptive layer in
ElectroLoss FilterLine cable
is constructed of a ferriteloaded high-temperature
polymer, which provides
high-frequency EMI
absorptive characteristics.
Achieving maximum attenuation requires concentrating
the electromagnetic fields
in the absorptive layer —
55FA0511
Radiation-crosslinked
PVDF
Conductor
either with a metallic shield
on each wire or by an overall metallic shield protecting
a bundle of individual
component wires.
Radiation-crosslinked,
modified conductive EFTE
jackets are used over
shielded filter line cables
to eliminate pathways
between adjacent cable
shields.
Application-driven alternative ElectroLoss FilterLine
constructions built to the
same rigorous standards
demanded of the military
requirements are also available. These alternatives
offer
significant weight savings
through the use of flat
braids, improved laser mark
contrast, and a broader
choice of conductors.
9
Wire and Cable
ElectroLoss FilterLine
products include highperformance wire and
cable, which when used
as specified, suppress
conducted and radiated
EMI above 100 MHz.
A reliable alternative to
conventional discrete filters
and filter-pin connectors,
ElectroLoss FilterLine
cables are flexible, lightweight, and compatible with
high-density connectors.

Performance
Effective against conducted
EMI ElectroLoss FilterLine
wire and cable systems
attenuate high-frequency
EMI and allow low frequency
signals to pass with minimum loss. When properly
installed and used, filter line
wire and cables function
as low-pass electrical
filters, attenuating both
conducted and radiated
EMI above 100MHz. The
performance of ElectroLoss
FilterLine product is best
demonstrated by measuring
the attenuation (insertion
loss) of a length of cable
over a broad range of
frequencies. Graph 1
depicts typical insertion
loss characteristics.

Thermocouple Extension Cables
SHF-260 Highly Flexible Wire
Product Facts
Currently available in sizes
from 24 to 1/0 AWG
n Highly flexible small bend
radius allows for fitting into
complex routing
n Extreme temperature resistance for a wide range of
applications
n Extruded polymer notch and
abrasion resistant —
mechanically tough
n Chemical and fluid resistance when tested to SAE-AS22759/41
n Vibration stability allows a
long life cycle in engine
compartments
n
Its ability to route in tight
spaces may allow the user
to go “up” in AWG sizes
and eliminate the need to
split power, where routing
and bending previously
prevented the user from
doing so.

Wire and Cable
TE Connectivity is pleased
to announce the introduction
of its new SHF-260 highly
flexible wire. The need for a
combination of high
temperature and high
performance in wire
insulation has become a
critical factor in today’s
platforms. This is especially
true in large diameter power
feeder applications where
temperature and durability
are key.
Its highly flexible
characteristic allows the
cable to be bent and routed
in extremely tight areas with
no wrinkling or cracking of
the insulation.This results in
being able to run shorter
distances, reducing the
stresson the contact, and
reducing the mating and
demating forces normally
associated with large shell
diameter circular connectors,
such as MIL-C-5015 and
MIL-C-83723 connectors.
Wire Printing

Wire and Cable
When stored under typical
conditions of less than
30Â˚C and less than 70%
relative humidity, the shelf
life of the wire is effectively
unlimited. Where the product contains a standard tin
plated or bare copper
conductor or braid there will
be a progressive reduction
in the solderability with
increasing storage time.
Under the conditions
mentioned above, excellent
solderability should be
retained for about one year
from manufacturing date,
but if this is an important
property, it should be
checked before use. The
suitability of the tin plated or
bare copper conductor for
use with crimped or welded
termination techniques will
not be affected by storage
time.

Raychem Zerohal is a
halogen-free cable jacket
material developed by
TE and approved to the
most exacting requirements
for low fire hazard cables in
many countries and, as
such, is the most widely
accepted material for these
applications in the marine,
process and mass transport
industries. Combined with
SPEC 44 wire or Type 99
and 100 wire, this jacket
material provides small
size, light weight cables
(approximately 40% weight
saving over conventional
materials).
Zerohal combines the good
mechanical and electrical
features of some conventional cables with good
flame retardancy, low
smoke generation, low
evolution of hazardous and
corrosive gases, and good
resistance to diesel fuel,
lubricating oils and water.
Zerohal jacket material is
fully compatible with the
low fire hazard harnessing
system - System 100.

Wire and Cable
Cables rarely initiate fires,
but they could be involved
in them and can significantly increase the damage
caused should they propagate the fire. Until recently
the flame retarding of
cables was achieved by
the use of halogenated
flame retardants which are
effective fire suppressants,
but which unfortunately
produce dense smoke and
corrosive acid gases when
burned. These effects are
highly undesirable in a fire,
hindering evacuation and
fire fighting, endangering
life and causing corrosion
damage to expensive
and vital equipment.

Low Fire Hazard Performance
Flammability
Current thinking on fire
hazard defines the term
‘Fire Risk’. This description
recognizes that the risk in a
fire situation is influenced
strongly from several factors
including, ignitability, heat
release, smoke evolution
and toxic gas emission
together with flammability.
There are several test
procedures available used
to assess flammability of
wires and cables. Still in
widespread use is Limiting
Oxygen Index (LOI), but it is
now generally recognized
that because the test is
conducted on a single
specimen (of cable jacket
or wire) in laboratory conditions, the results are, at
best, only weakly correlated
to actual fire situations.
Critical Temperature Index
(CTI), is a related test and
assesses performance at
elevated temperature but
nevertheless it is still conducted on a single specimen. The most common
flammability tests for a single wire specimen is the 60˚
flame test as defined by
AS81044 and FAR Part
25.More recent evidence
and thinking places significantly greater importance
on large scale flammability
tests, such as IEC IEEE 383
or UL1685, in which the
sample consists of a tray of
wires. These tests predict
more accurately the likely
behavior of cables in actual
fire scenarios. Raychem
Zerohal cable jackets give
very good results in small
scale laboratory based
tests (e.g. LOI, CTI) and
Zerohal cables perform
very well in large scale
tests (e.g. IEEE 383 or
UL1685). Overall Zerohal
jacketed cables have been
shown to exhibit excellent
flammability characteristics.
Corrosivity
Under fire conditions, polymers containing halogens,
sulphur and phosphorous
all form corrosive acid
gases or liquids. These
acids can then attack items
such as printed circuit

boards, connectors, control
relays and metal structures,
including steel reinforcement bars embedded in
concrete.
Test methods to evaluate
corrosivity involve direct
measurement of the amount
of acid gas produced
during pyrolysis, eg to
MIL-DTL-24640 Acid Gas
Generation or measurement
of pH and electrical conductivities of solutions.
Toxicity Index
The various gases given off
by combustion of polymeric
materials are toxic to differing degrees.
The Def Stan 02-713,
assesses the concentration
of each of the possible byproducts and, by measuring
the amounts of these materials, a Toxicity Index is
assigned.
Zerohal jacket material has
a typical Toxicity Index of
1.7, compared to a typical
value of 6 for CSP and 20
for PVC jacketed cable.
The Def. Standard 61-12
Part 31 specification
requirement for a cable
jacket is <5.
Smoke
The problems of classifying
flammability and corrosive
gas generation equally
apply to measuring smoke
generation. The method
accepted by most authorities involves the use of
the NBS smoke chamber
where optical density of
the chamber's atmosphere
is constantly measured
during pyrolysis.
The 10% visibility line indicates the density of smoke
which would cause human
disorientation and confusion. The rate of change
of smoke density can be
summarized to a single
numerical value, as in Def.
Standard 02-711, to give a
smoke index for a material
and thus offers simple comparison of materials performance.

For the vessel to achieve
maximum speed, maneuverability and range, it is vital to
keep the “top weight” to a
minimum and since most of
the equipment is located on
the upper decks, system
weight must be kept as low
as possible.
The diagram shows a lightweight cable compared
with a traditional shipboard
cable having the same
cross-sectional area of copper. Both cables have the
same number of conductors. A saving in size has
been made on the insulation material, but without
sacrificing the mechanical
or electrical characteristics
of the cable. A typical
saving in cable tray volume
could be as high as 40%.
Lightweight cables can
also save in excess of
twenty tons on a typical
frigate and three to five
tons on a fast patrol boat.
TE lightweight, small size
cables are giving reliable
service in frigates, corvette's,
fast patrol boats, hydrofoils
and submarines in many
major Navies.
Due to recent improvements
in manufacturing, TE can
now offer an even tighter
tolerance of ±2.5% on cable
diameter. This is well within
the limits imposed by specifications such as Def Stan
61-12 part 25, MIL-DTL24640/24643, and offers
significant benefits to system designers, particularly
where cable glanding is
involved.
Weight savings within
“maxima allowed” by existing specifications are also
achievable.
Other applications
The increasing awareness
of many areas of industry
of the need to minimize fire
hazard risk is leading to a
rapid growth in the use of
Zerohal jacketed cables.
Applications include rail
and mass transit, offshore
platforms and other
enclosed areas where a
fire would present a
significant threat to
people or equipment.

Wire and Cable
Ships are becoming smaller
and more sophisticated,
with an ever increasing
complexity of electronic
systems, sensors and
weapons. As technology
advances shipbuilders are
called upon to update and
modify existing systems or
fit completely new ones.
The proliferation of electronic hardware requires
more and more communication systems to transfer data
from one place to another.
To provide all the necessary
interconnections, hundreds
of multicore cables have to
run throughout the ship.
These, along with cables for
power, lighting and other
basic services, create a
severe space problem
within ducts and hangers.

Electrical Shielding
Interference — Designing
for the Threat
Applications
In many applications,

to minimize cross-talk

radiation from the cable
itself.

n
The design of cables to
provide effective shielding
over a broad frequency
spectrum is complex, and
cables must be tailored to
specific electromagnetic
environments. From simple
aluminized polyester film
that provides electrostatic
shielding to progressively
more complex shielding
that can be designed
incorporating plated copper
braids and Mu metal wraps.
Optimization
Performance of conventional braiding can be
significantly improved by
computer optimization.
This tightly controlled
process can give many
times the shielding
performance of a basic
braided shield with minimal
weight penalty or increase
in optical coverage.
Supershielded cables
combine Mu metal wraps
with optimized braids to
provide even further
enhanced performance,
especially at low
frequencies.

The problems of shielding
cables are complex.
However, with the introduction of optimized braids and
supershielded cables, TE
has the capability to solve
the most difficult shielding
problems. Shielding of
cables without degrading
cable flexibility can be provided for coaxial and multiconductor cables for all
EMC and EMP conditions.
To complement this range
of cables, TE manufactures
Raychem cable terminations and connector back

EMP Hardened Cables
The requirements for
nuclear hardened cables
present the engineer with
a range of problems. The
waveform of the EMP is
such that the majority of
power is dissipated in a
frequency band between
1 KHz and 5 MHz, where little
protection is given by conventionally shielded cables.
TE has solved this problem
with a range of super-
Single
Optimized
EM Shielding effectiveness (dB/meter)
To assess the effectiveness
of a shield, TE has adopted
the line injection method as
described in IEC 1196-1
to measure the surface
transfer impedance (Zt) of a
cable shield. This relates the
open circuit voltage generated on a component wire
inside the cable to the current
injected on the overall
shield. The unit of Zt is
Ohms per meter, thus the
voltage coupling is length
dependent and long cables
exhibit more leakage than
similar but shorter length
ones. To determine the
surface transfer impedance
across a range of frequencies, a drive signal is generated by the internal tracking
generator of a spectrum
analyzer, and amplified. The
voltage is induced on the
center conductor of the
sample which is amplified
and returned to the signal
generator for measurement.
The understanding of
leakage mechanisms has
enabled TE to design
cables with guaranteed
minimum Zt values for the
desired operating environment.
shielded cables which give
shielding performance at
these frequencies by incorporating materials which
change the inductance of
the shield and lower the
transfer impedance. TE
supershielded cables have
a sandwich construction of
Mu metal tapes between
optimized braids. Mu metal
is a ferro-magnetic material
which has a high permeability over a wide range of
field strengths. It is applied
to the cable in a way which
maintains cable flexibility
and minimizes work hardening and any consequent
reduction in permeability.
Supershielded cables not
only give protection against
EMP but also other major
interference modes.

TE EMC test facilities have
